''Halloween Night''
Horrible monster roaming the streets . . .
Abhorrent beastly creatures deplorable
Little kids in cute costumes holding daddy's hand
Laughing children running here and there
Orange pumpkins on porches blinking
Wailing and yowling sounds from hidden speakers
Eager the kids knock on doors
Every kid yells . . . TRICK OR TREAT
Nameless faces in disguise
Now at the corner is a very, very old house
Inside a bent, wrinkled lady lives with her black cat
Going to the door the kids are unsure and afraid
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! She yells with a great big smile
Take a treat or two, please! M e o w purrs her soft black kitty
